Juris Doctor

2014 - 2017

Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL

During law school, my elective courses were focused in business law. After accepting an internship with a personal injury firm, I knew that I wanted to represent plaintiffs and become a litigator after law school. I also took part in FSU's children's advocacy clinic, which provided a great opportunity to work on real cases for some of the most vulnerable among Florida residents.

Bachelor of Arts - History

2011 - 2014

Gardner Webb University, Boiling Springs, NC

While at Gardner Webb, I focused my history studies in Native American history. I minored in English. I also worked as a student manager with the men's basketball team coached by Chris Holtmann.

During college, I worked in customer service at an apparel company. Our company made apparel for colleges and universities.
